changes

A wedding, a honeymoon, a media conference, emergency surgery, and a new home... it's amazing how so many things can happen in just a short amount of time. Thankfully, they all happened back to back and not all at the same time!

After a beautiful time on our honeymoon, we got back and immediately began having the best time settling into our apartment. Shortly after, I had an incredible opportunity to attend Echo Media Conference with the media team from Praise. It was incredible to be surrounded by hundreds of other "creatives" in one place at one time. I came away with more information than I knew my head could hold.

In the wee hours of the morning on August 1st, I woke up out of dead sleep in severe pain in my chest and abdomen. By the time we got to the hospital it was worse than before and within an hour, they had scheduled emergency surgery (on a Sunday) and had called the surgeons on call. After surgery, I spent 2 days in the hospital recovering. I am so blessed with the most amazing husband who took immaculate care of me during my recovery. And my mom and sister-in-law were so gracious to help "courtney-sit" me when my mister had to work. Now, almost 6 weeks later, I am almost fully recovered. I still can't lift heavy things, but other than that, I'm just about back to normal!

While we have really enjoyed this season settling into our apartment in Lumberton, we have been looking to buy a home for quite some time, however timing is everything. And our timing has finally arrived. We are simply waiting on closing on our new home. It's a beautiful home in lovely new construction area of Lumberton. It's the perfect place for the Miller's.

That's really it for now... work and family is wonderful as always! Here's a few pictures of our new home.

i'm told wedding planning is a lot of work, takes a lot of time and is worth every moment! and i definitely agree...

i haven't written much lately due to the overwhelming amount of work and wedding planning that is currently on my plate (some of which is definitely self-induced). but life is amazing. jason and i are very excited about our upcoming "forever" day on may 22nd of this year. with just a few months left, most of the details are done - now we just wait.

the dress is on order, the tuxes are rented, the flower girls are ecstatic and can't wait to wear their pretty dresses, the cake has been selected, the reservations have been made, the photographer has been selected... we are on a roll. and now we just wait.

and while we wait, there are just a few thousand other details to tend to.

in the mean time we've had fun registering - all i can say is "wow!" and i can assure you that the "beattles" items that are on the registry all happened when the scanner was in his hand!! it was fun and an evening i will not quickly forget.

i'm happy... ridiculously happy. and i'll try to channel my happiness to blogging a bit more often.
